Never let friends drive your bike!

If you know that then take this as a reminder. My friend was driving my bike around the parking lot at work, and lost control and slid. At least hes okay, but my 4 day old bike is scracted up, I was seriously about to cry. I was so pissed, but glad he was okay.

But I need to know where to buy, OEM Fairings for a '03 R6 Limited Edition Black w/ Red Flames? Fortuantely he didnt mess up much, but he did mess up my left fairing, left blinker, scracted the cover (dont know what the real name is) and muffler, so I told him that he could just buy me the fairing and cover.

Where should I go to get it?

This is a friend of mine so I want a good price on it. Thanks

Damn, that sucks. Good lesson though.

Your friend is going to have to bend over and take it like a man to get those parts. You might as well put flushmount blinkers on there, about $20. An aftermarket slip-on will be MUCH cheaper than the stock exhaust, unless you get it off Ebay. The left engine cover will run about $90 usually and the left fairing will run about $350 or so usually.

Damn man, that sucks. Thats why when my buddies ask me to ride my bike, I always tell em "the only person wreckin my shit is me".

Oh well...look on the bright side...its time to get some aftermarket products! Id get a aftermarket exhaust if I were you. The stock mufflers look too plain and arnt very aggressive sounding.

Oh shit, that blows. I am suprised you let someone ride it. Did he have a liscence or exp on bikes? If it were my friends, I'd be seriously pissed that they would do me like that.

I'd try RTM on Florida. I got my fairing there way cheaper than the dealer wanted. Being as your bike is so new, you may have to get new parts. Hope you luck out on ebay and there is one for sale.
